Raw, Unfiltered Tone Machine
There’s a reason the Les Paul Junior has been a rock ‘n’ roll staple for decades. It’s a guitar that’s all about business. No frills, no fancy extras, just pure, unadulterated tone that begs to be cranked up. This Epiphone Les Paul Junior in its classic TV Yellow finish is a stunning tribute to the ’50s originals, delivering that same stripped-down, ready-to-rumble vibe that inspired generations of players. From its resonant mahogany body to the single, snarling P-90 pickup, this guitar is built to be played loud and proud.
The Heart of the Beast: P-90 Power
The magic of the Junior lies in its simplicity, and it all starts with the single Epiphone P-90 PRO Dogear pickup. This isn’t your polite, well-mannered single-coil. The P-90 is famous for its fat, gritty midrange and articulate top-end that cuts through a mix with authority. Roll the volume back for sparkly, touch-sensitive cleans, or dime it and unleash a ferocious growl that’s perfect for everything from bluesy bends to punk rock power chords. It’s all wired up to CTS potentiometers, so you get a smooth, responsive taper that lets you dial in the perfect amount of grit right from the guitar.
Vintage Feel, Modern Reliability
Wrapping your hand around the ’50s Vintage neck profile is like shaking hands with an old friend. It’s a substantial, comfortable shape that gives you something to really dig into, while the 12″ radius rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets make for effortless bending and chording. The glued-in, set-neck construction and compensated wraparound bridge ensure maximum resonance and sustain, transferring every bit of string vibration directly into the mahogany body. Up top, Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a Graph Tech nut provide rock-solid tuning stability, so you can focus on the music, not on your headstock.
